Legal counsel for the actress say she is not interested in cutting a plea deal and is ready to head to court this week to face shoplifting charges.

“Everyone keeps asking me why doesn’t this settle out [of court]. But there is this meddlesome little problem of her being not guilty!” said Ryder’s lawyer, Mark Geragos.

Ryder, who will turn 31 this month, has been ordered to stand trial for allegedly stealing more than $6,000 worth of designer goods – by cutting off security tags – at a Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills in December.

In her June 14 arraignment, she pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree burglary, grand theft, vandalism and possession of drugs without a prescription.

Ryder could face more than three years in prison if convicted of all charges. But as first-time offender she would probably get no worse than probation, legal experts say.

While the trial is scheduled to start tomorrow, a backlog of other cases could see jury selection delayed a few days, according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
